Method evidence record
BIRCH
BIRCH is a scalable, incremental clustering algorithm introduced by Zhang, Ramakrishnan, and Livny in 1996. It is designed to cluster very large datasets — potentially larger than available memory — in a single pass, by compressing the data into a compact in-memory summary structure called a CF-tree (Clustering Feature tree) before applying any standard clustering procedure.
